Octo-mom? Isn't she six months, twenty-six days, eight hours and thirty-odd minutes past her expiration date? What is she going to call the show - "No Jon, No Kate, And Now It's Eight Months Too Late"?

Liz Kelly, methinks you should have titled that one link "Lindsay Lohan's three miles of bad road look..."

Sure, a Harvard professor gets arrested going into his own house, but Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan can wander around the Hamptons...

"Kate Hudson and A-Rod kiss at Yankee Stadium..." And so begins another night when he hits for the cycle.

"By the way, Hollywood needs to know. We eat, therefore we hunt. Unless we quit and go home early, in which case we'll just stop at the McD's and have a burger. You betcha." -- Sarah Palin, in the unlikely event she'd ever tell it like it really is.

Michael's hair turned into diamonds? Will Liz Taylor's hair be turned into White Diamonds? Prince's hair into Diamonds and Pearls? I have this weird vision of Ronnie Mervis of Mervis Diamond Importers exploring a South African cave and discovering Michael Jackon's hair.

So JLo is at first delighted at the surprise, then annoyed that some of her guests were late? What a diva. She's had so many birthday parties that Naomi Judd's looking to her for pointers on the length of her next farewell tour.

Queen Liz, is there something you've heard that the Lizards haven't? Maybe Abdul's considering leaving in order to go gender-reassignment surgery, or something?

John Travolta to renounce Scientology?

A child's death is said to cause the most anguishing grief there is. Maybe the e-meters and auditing, combined with their absolute stance against anti-depressant meds (even when reasonably indicated), are causing Travolta to question the cult's validity. One can only wish that he (and Kelly and Ella) safely escape their grubby clutches and build new lives in the world of reason.

The article adds, however, that "there are dark mutterings that if he carries out private threats to leave, the organisation will go public with embarrassing details of his private life, including, it is claimed, allegations of past homosexual relationships." Nothing like a threat of blackmail to keep sheep in the fold, huh?

MJ Diamonds. No thanks. I'm holding out for the limited edition Groucho glasses when that prosthetic nose turns up.

Octomom....she's baaaa'ack!

I am now convinced Kate Hudson is the stupidest girl on the planet.

I do hope John Travolta leaves the Scientology cult. That may be just what he needs to heal. I'm betting he has more on them than they have on him. Seems like it was eons ago that Jett died but for John I'm sure it hurts like it was yesterday. He still has my sympathy.

"By the way, Hollywood needs to know. We eat, therefore we hunt." -- Sarah Palin. I thought this was a quote from the Twilight series.

I'm with Hodie on John Travolta having better ammo in any mud fight with the $cientolocult.

Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan hit the Hamptons. Meanwhile, the Hamptons longs for the bygone days of Tara Reid and Nicole Ritchie, when only the classiest individuals were granted access to the town's exclusive environs.

Uh, Jon-horndog, you're not single till the divorce is final. Till then your behavior can have a potentially adverse impact on your child custody arrangements. Unless, of course, that's what you're hoping for...

Octo-mom Nadya Suleman lands reality TV deal.

What if they aired a reality series and nobody tuned in? Would it have been seen?

I agree with hodie and northgs that John Travolta probably has a lot more dirt on the $cientolocult than they could possibly have on him. The article claims the cult is trying to convince him and Kelly that son Jett's death may have been due to their not having been adherent enough to cult teachings. Yeah, that's a real great way to keep allies.

She's all, like nervous about turning forty so I, like through a party for her. But some of the guests showed up, like, all late and stuff and seeing all those empty chairs at the beginning made her all, like weepy. It like totally messed up her makeup. But it was nothing like when I first met her and like I told her, "You are my wife and you don't know it yet." That like totally freaked her out and she thought I was some sort of stalker. But now, we're married and stuff and just last night, Jennifer was putting our son to be and went, "I love you." And he went, "I love you too." And like, she's my girl now.

Damn, and I thought tetradacamom had finally slipped off into well-deserved oblivion.

That Orlando Bloom piece is in rumor mill. I'd say it's just as likely a plant by his managers to get the studio to cough up more $$ by way of begging him to return to the series. Even with Captain Jack, I don't think another Pirates movie works without the straight man (so to speak). Having said that, zn123 makes an excellent point.

How is it that most actresses her age manage to keep their dating habit off the radar but Kate Hudson makes a spectacle of herself. She's beginning to rival notorious stank Jude Law. (And Bradley Cooper seems to be trying for Jude's title.)

I keep hoping CCV/Octomom, Kate Hudson and Sarah Palin will just go away, then I remember with a snicker that Sarah Palin is the best thing to happen to Democrats in ages. Keep talking, Sarah, you help us every time you open your mouth. Sorta like Dick Cheney. Heh.

If you scroll down the Tara Reid article, you might wish that she would refer her good friend Cavalli to the surgeon that corrected her messed up boobies and lipo job. (yikes!!) perhaps Donatella Versace (Muppet Janice) should make an appointment also.

and,
Sarah Palin made as much sense during her "farewell" speech as she did when she announced her resignation. (Someone needs to adjust her meds. She starts sounding like a pschotic political cheerleader after a while.)

From the Specter story:
Manson's incarceration is linked to his failure to make it as a musician back in the 1960s. After Doris Day's record producer son Terry Melcher rejected him, Manson sent members of his cult to kill Melcher - who had recently sold his house to director Roman Polanski and his wife Tate. Instead of Melcher, pregnant Tate and four others were brutally murdered."

If there was ANYONE crying out as needing REAL psychotherapy to get through a rough patch, it's John Travolta. If he doesn't get real help soon, another preventable tragedy will befall that family. (bad stuff happens, and sometimes people need real help to get through it - not some "what do YOU think YOU could have done to prevent this" guilt-slinging that that money-sucking cult will give him.)

anonymouslurker, you are so right re John Travolta's need for orthodox psychotherapeutic help. The death of a child is hard enough under the best of circumstances (whatever those might be), but I can't imagine the added agony of being told by one's religion that one was at fault for not being even more dogmatic than the Travoltas already are.

Re Sarah Palin, I wonder if she's hoping to land a radio gig à la Mike Huckabee (who, with his background as a preacher, is qualified to be a professional talker, regardless of what one might think of his views).

I totally second the nomination of "Donatella Versace(Muppet Janice)" as her legal Lizard Island name. Bravo, annonymouslurker, bravo. I will never again think of one without the other (not that I frequently ponder either, mind you).

============
I wouldn't be so hard on the Travoltas. They had Jett on medication for a while and he responded poorly to it. There is no guarantee he would have done better on something else.

What I think may be turning John is Scientology's mile-wide, inch deep approach to everything. It's all a matter of becoming clear and all is well. That only works when all is well. Travolta is probably their highest profile celebrity with a problem that couldn't be solved with the little tin cans.

As for whatever "hold" they might have on him, he should completely call their bluff. (1) Who would believe them? (2) Wouldn't the information have gotten out by now? (3) What if the accusations involve other Scientologists (ooo...it could get real ugly) and (4) it's 2009 for goodness sakes. A revelation like that makes someone more interesting and intriguing.

mdreader, I'm with you re Travolta calling their bluff. Even if it's true and they can't sue them for slander or libel, doesn't it just make them look ridiculously pouty, petty and vindictive? I think no matter what the "revelations" the public would revile the cult even more for kicking a grieving family when they're down.

And itsagreatday makes a good point--why does anyone anywhere think anything Michael Lohan does is newsworthy? (Not Liz' fault, she didn't report it, just linked to it). Gosselin's 15 minutes were up the moment he abandoned his family which means he's no longer part of the title of the show which was the only reason anyone knew or remotely cared who he was. Not that I blame him for leaving the harpie, but she didn't FORCE him to father all those kids and appear in a reality show. He's officially a non-entity, former father of tv-exploited brood, ho-hum.
And BFFs? How disgustingly appropriate. I guess Michael is giving Jon his updated papa-Joe-Jackson how-to-make-bank-off-your kids lectures. Oh wait...he's already done that.
